Job description
Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities and safely deploy such a robotaxi solution. The System Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) team plays a foundational role in the company's success, responsible for constructing the safety case and fail-operational design for our autonomous driving robots before public road deployment. You will be part of an organization with strong leadership and a transparent, respectful culture that enables you to reach your full potential. We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to drive the technical evolution of the Fail Operations metrics, frameworks, and processes. In this role, you will lead the refinement of how Zoox categorizes, estimates, and tracks autonomous driving performance events, working closely with cross-functional partners across Data Science, SDMA, Software and Operations. You will serve as a key technical partner to SDMA’s metrics leadership, shaping the methodology that underpins Zoox’s assessment of readiness to scale.
